HOME OCCUPATION DECLARATION
Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) allows a HOME OCCUPATION as incidental and subordinate to the use of a
dwelling situated ONLY within the State Land Use URBAN District and within any County of Hawai‘i
zoning district in which a single family dwelling is permitted, provided that:
(a) The home occupation does not change the character and external appearance of the
dwelling.
(b) A person desiring to engage in a home occupation that involves any of the following
activities: (1) Frequent customer or client visits; (2) Frequent deliveries or pickups; (3)
Storage of materials, supplies or products related to the home occupation outside of the
dwelling or other fully enclosed building; (4) Activities conducted outside of the
dwelling; or (5) Group instruction; will comply with all of the conditions:
(1) The home occupation shall be conducted either entirely within the dwelling or, if
outside the dwelling, the activity shall be screened from public view.
(2) No exterior signs, symbols, displays or advertisements relating to the home
occupation shall be displayed, nor shall any interior signs be visible from the
public view.
(3) Any materials, supplies or products relating to the home occupation which are
stored outside of the dwelling or other fully enclosed building shall be screened
from the public view.
(4) Articles sold on the premises shall be limited to those produced by the home
occupation, or to instructional materials pertinent to the home occupation, or to
services provided by the home occupation.
(5) Only one employee shall be permitted in addition to household members under
the home occupation.
(6) A minimum of one parking space shall be provided on the building site in
addition to parking required for the dwelling use or other permitted uses if the
home occupation involves customer or client visits or meetings. The director may
require additional parking spaces where the director finds that such additional
parking spaces may be reasonably necessary to avoid off-site or inappropriate
parking locations. Any resident of a multiple-family dwelling may fulfill the
parking requirement by the use of guest parking with the written approval of the
building owner, manager or condominium association.
